Description

Resting in the heart of Penrith, a lovely market town in Cumbria is The Hermitage, an inviting, two-bedroom lodge.

Complete with an open-plan interior, a decked veranda with a private hot tub, and well-located near the local amenities and attractions of the town, The Hermitage makes a wonderful base for four guests and their furry companion, looking to explore the Lake District National Park.

Be welcomed by a shared driveway, where you can unload your belongings and make your way to your new abode.

Step indoors to reach the open-plan living space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and a sitting area, where you can unwind after a day of adventure with the electric fire alight.

While the night away outdoors, dining alfresco and socialising, as the wine is poured and conversations flow, before climbing into the hot tub for an indulgent soak.

Two well-appointed bedrooms are on offer, a double and a twin, both serviced by a shower room.

On your doorstep you'll find a selection of shops, pubs and eateries to take advantage of, along with the Penrith and Eden Museum, Penrith Castle, and Thacka Beck Nature Reserve, all worth visiting whilst in the area.

History buffs will also enjoy touring Brougham Castle and Mayburgh Henge, both within proximity of the lodge, before heading into the national park, aiming for Keswick; enjoy touring Keswick Museum and the Derwent Pencil Museum, take to Derwentwater for an afternoon of watersports, or don your walking boots for a hike up to Underskiddaw.

With a wealth of beauty spots to discover, be sure to take in the breath-taking landscape of Aira Force Waterfall, set near Ullswater, or if you're a fan of city life, wine, dine, shop and sightsee in Carlisle, recommended to tour both Carlisle Castle and Carlisle Cathedral.

With all of this to experience, book The Hermitage.

What guests are saying

The owners were lovely and gave us some really good recommendations.

The location was very convenient for walking into Penrith, with plenty of lovely places just a short drive away. We really enjoyed our stay here and would happily recommend it.

1st impressions last and ours was that we loved this cosy little lodge with excellent facilities and hot tub, we're already planning our next trip back.

We booked this as had family staying in the connected property - Lonsdale Villa so was ideal for a large family Xmas.

The lodge was as described, although a little tired in places and the kitchen was slightly lacking when it came to glasses and sharp knives, although this wasn’t really an issue for us as we spent most of the time next door. Property info says Alexa available but this didn’t work. Only downside, the property is on bottled gas. No info about this in the info pack and we came back in the early hours and the gas had run out so we were trying to change the gas bottle over, in the dark. The owners were quick to respond and apologise but I think people should be aware and what to do if the gas does run out.
